At least 50 firefighters battled a three-alarm blaze in Edison Sunday that closed some local streets for more than 12 hours.
Officials say the fire broke out at around 4 a.m. at the Schindler Chemical Plant on Whitman Avenue, forcing the road to close until Sunday afternoon because of a hazardous materials spill.
Firefighters say the flames were substantial and difficult to extinguish, though no one was injured.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
